Contact & pilot

Let’s start with your shelves.

Tell us which category you work in, how your team checks shelves today and what you would like to improve. We will use that context to shape an initial walkthrough and pilot discussion.

How the pilot works

Agree the scope

Select the category, catalogue, sample stores and shelf conditions to include.

Define success

Agree how recognition quality, shelf measurements, turnaround and field effort will be evaluated.

Review the evidence

Compare Pharos output with independently checked shelf records, inspect errors and decide whether to expand.

Frequently asked questions

Can Pharos distinguish similar products?

Similar-looking variants are a central focus of Pharos’s pharmacy and beauty approach. Your pilot tests the shades, strengths and pack sizes in your catalogue under representative shelf conditions.

Does a missing product mean the store is out of stock?

No. A product not detected in the captured shelf area may still be elsewhere in the store. The finding supports a placement or replenishment check.

What do we need to get started?

Start with your category, product list and the merchandising rules you want to check. We will agree catalogue and image requirements while scoping the pilot.

How is share of shelf measured?

We agree the measurement basis for your rollout—for example, share of visible facings within a defined fixture or category. Comparisons need consistent boundaries and measurement rules.

How quickly do results arrive?

Processing time depends on the image set and deployment. The pilot establishes the turnaround your workflow needs and tests it under representative conditions.

Can Pharos fit our data requirements?

Share your processing, storage and access requirements during scoping. We will review the proposed setup before agreeing the rollout.
